MRI Negative for MIA IPBR if MIA Found at Surgery vs Not Found/Hypophysectomya,b

Group IPBR + IPBR − Total
MIA found at surgery 12 (100) 0 (0) 12
MIA not found at surgery/HYPO 6 (75) 2 (25) 8
Total 18 2 20
a

IPBR, immediate postoperative biochemical remission; MIA, microadenoma; HYPO, hypophysectomy.

b

There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of IPBR in patients with a negative MRI whether a microadenoma was found at surgery or not found and the patient underwent hypophysectomy, P = .15.
